Building Qt from source on Windows
-
Hi, I'm trying to create a minimal build on Windows and it seems that I'm doing something wrong. My goal is to build a minimal version. For example, I don't need Quick, WebEngine, etc. I've read through the configuration mapping file but it seems that using the
-QT_SKIP_<name>=Ondoesn't have any effect.
Does someone know how to create a minimal build on Windows, e.g. a way to disable options.For example when I start configuring the project I see that a large list of dependency checks are done for most of the modules I've disabled:
-- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtbase' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtimageformats' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtlanguageserver' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtshadertools' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtsvg' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtdeclarative' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtquicktimeline' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtquick3d' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtmultimedia' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qt3d' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qt5compat' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtactiveqt' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtcharts' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtcoap' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtconnectivity' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtdatavis3d' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtgraphs' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtwebsockets' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qthttpserver' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtserialport' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtpositioning' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtlocation' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qttools' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtwebchannel' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtwebengine' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtdoc' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtgrpc' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtlottie' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtmqtt' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtnetworkauth' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtopcua' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtquick3dphysics' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtquickeffectmaker' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtremoteobjects' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtscxml' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtsensors' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtserialbus' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtspeech' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qttranslations' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtvirtualkeyboard' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtwayland' -- Checking dependencies of submodule 'qtwebview'Currently I'm using this monster of a cmake command.

Isn't including only what you acutally need/want easier than excluding everything you do not need? :))
"Minimal" would only require
qtbase... how minimal you really wanna go depends on what you are trying to do later.You can always add +build modules later and re-configure your installation

Using the

Thanks @Pl45m4!
Yes, it would be great if I could only include what I wanted. Where can I find a list of the possible options/modules? And how can I determine what I need. I mean, I want to create an app with some buttons, text input and OpenGL.
Thanks for the link to initializing the qt submodules!

Since you know which classes you want to use, look in their documentation to see to which module it belongs.
But tbh - why this all? What do you think you gain here?

@Christian-Ehrlicher Thanks.
I want to be able to build my project automatically w/o the need to manually go through install wizards which means the install app is not really an option. It would be great if I could simply download the binaries of Qt but there doesn't seem to be an option that allows me to do that automatically via a script.

What has your project to do with Qt? Download it once and add it to your package later on? Why build Qt every time?

Like here:
Zipped Qt Sources by module

@snoriman hi,
The aqtinstall project seems to fit the description: command line installation of Qt.
